Soldiers march during a parade for the 70th anniversary of North Korea's founding day in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Sunday. Instead leader Kim Jong Un showed off his friendship with China, raising the hand of President Xi Jinping's envoy as they saluted the crowd together afterwards. At one point jets trailing red, white and blue smoke -- the colours of the North Korean flag -- roared above the Juche Tower, the stone monument to Kim Il Sung's political philosophy. "There was no display of ICBMs, IRBMs (intermediate-range ballistic missiles), which would really not have sat well with the whole idea that North Korea is committed to ultimate denuclearisation. After the civilian rally Kim and Li saluted the crowd, the North Korean raising his guest's hand into the air.
